Where there is a high profile person with Secret Service agents around, that beloved photography student would be a complete Fkn idiot for trying a stunt like that. If that student was killed, it would their own fault for lacking common sense.

The Biden administration is doing all they can to breed conspiracy theories over this. They will try to use these later to discredit anyone not toeing the political lune.

If the SS knew there was a plot from Iran to get Trump and others, and they increased security, then a 20 year old geek bypassed all this increased security, what would have a well trained, well funded and highly motivated agent of Iran been able to do?

Well there is one other difference in various instant media that can share information, theories, and expertise outside the total control of government and their owners. We will see if it matters.

Whoever decided 150 yards away was ‘outside the security area’ will have some explaining to do, but I suspect the answer will be “we asked for additional security from the Secret Service, but were denied over and over again”.

20 plus minutes up there and no communication between the ‘local yokels’ and the SS?

There was a visual obstruction between the sniper’s position and the shooter until the shooter made himself visible while taking the shots at Trump. It was the ridge line of the building he was on. The problem is as more videos come out the shooter was on that roof for approximately 26 minutes before taking the shots at Trump. Numerous people can be seen and heard yelling to LE and other security personnel about there being someone on the roof with a firearm. That same building had previously been designated as a potential security risk in the pre planning stages of the event, because of it’s line of sight to the stage where President Trump was to speak and yet there was no one on the roof as security. The Secret Service is claiming it was outside their Protective Perimeter. This incident was this generations ‘Grassy Knoll’ and the only difference is this time it failed.
